Types of Corrosion
Many different types of corrosion exist and positive identification of the results of corrosion often pinpoint the
cause and consequently a potential remedy. The following are the more generally encountered:

Intercrystalline Corrosion

Dimensional inspection
Radius and total length are inspected on each U-
bend tube. Usually one sample of smallest radius of
each thickness are inspected with regard to minimum
wallthickness on bend area and flattening.
Cleanliness
The cleanliness of the inside and outside surface is
inspected on each U-tube. Impurities caused by oil,
grease and crude is not considered acceptable.
Marking
If not agreed contrary, the first layer of each radius of
each pallet or case is marked with label as follows:
Row No. • Radius (mm) • Quantity of tubes
Packing list will be attached to each packing unit.
